Abstract

There is no doubt in denying the fact that the concept of Hindu Code-Bill was derived by Dr. BhimRaoAmbedkar. He wanted to get the same bill in the constituent assembly in April, 11, 1947. The main focus of this bill was to liberalize the personal law as well as to bring men and women on equal footing in the Hindu social system. In the present bill, many aspects were included by Ambedkar in which right to property and marriage, divorce, adoption, minority, maintenance and guardianship were worthy of detailed consideration. The main focus of the bill was the idea of stability as well as changes, if required in future, to maintain the equality between men and women. It was considered as a part and parcel of social engineering as a revolutionary measure. The importance of the bill was clear from the fact that it was hotly debated and discussed that in the constituent assembly.
